Youth Explode 2008!

Did you know that 60% of filipinos do not own a Bible? That 70% of both teenagers and young professionals do not own a Bible? If we are to take the Bible as our ultimate guide to life, then this is not a very good sign.

In a survey done by the Philippine Bible Society not long ago, they gathered a collective reaction why these young people do not own a Bible. Here’s what they found out:

1. We don’t know where to start/how to read it.
2. We don’t understand our Bible version.
3. We do not see the relevance of the Bible in our lives.

For a country considered as a Christian nation, where there is bountiful supply of Bibles, i find these reasons very alarming. The issue here is no longer on the availability of the Bible, but the problem is the lack of advocacy and leaders that will teach this generation the importance of reading the Word of God.

It is in response to this reality that the Philippine Bible Society (PBS), together with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), the Philippine Council for Evangelical Churches (PCEC), the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), through its Episcopal Commission on Youth (ECY), have rallied together to bring about the Youth Explode Series.
